Hi Ankur,
Thanks for the patches!
We have tested these patches on our machine, with an adaptation of ACPI LPI
states rather than c-states.
Include polling state, there would be three states to get in. Comparing idle
switching latencies of different state with perf bench sched pipe:
usecs/op %stdev
state0(polling state) 7.36 +- 0.35%
state1 8.78 +- 0.46%
state2 77.32 +- 5.50%
It turns out that it works on our machine.
Tested-by: Lifeng Zheng <zhenglifeng1@...wei.com>
The adaptation of ACPI LPI states is shown below as a patch. Feel free to
include this patch as part of your series, or I can also send it out after
your series being merged.
From: Lifeng Zheng <zhenglifeng1@...wei.com>
ACPI: processor_idle: Support polling state for LPI
Initialize an optional polling state besides LPI states.
Wrap up a new enter method to correctly reflect the actual entered state
when the polling state is enabled.
